The lifeline of the country is the Indian Railways. Trains are not just a means of transport, but an integral part of people’s daily lives. Everyone must have more or less experience with train travel. So do you know what the person who drives a train is called? The answer is “Loco Pilot.” Those who drive a bus, auto or car are called drivers. But the person who drives a train is called a Loco Pilot. So why are they not called “drivers”? What is the reason behind this special name?
The engine by which the train runs is called a locomotive. Similarly, the person who operates this complex and heavy machine is the pilot. Combining these two words, the train driver is called a Loco Pilot. That is, the person who manages the locomotive engine and takes hundreds of passengers safely to their destination. So a Loco Pilot is not just a driver, but a responsible operator. Whose vigilance and skill ensure the safety of thousands of people. The person driving the train is not just driving a vehicle, but a huge machine and the safety of the people sitting in it rests on his shoulders.
